I've been remiss! Marty Schottenheimer was fired by the Chargers. This was after he had inexplicably been offered a 1-year contract extension (which would take him throught the 08-09 season). He refused the extension, and even cited that the reason is that he didn't have any working relationship with A.J. Smith, the GM.

San Diego has the best football team in the country. No one has more talent or a deeper bench, period. They should be able to attract a far higher caliber of coach than they were when they hired Schottenheimer. Let's hope they do it this time.
